The locals at Parco Lambro Skatepark are willing to create an association so to avoid time and money wasting ventures and give advice to local administrations when it comes to building something for skateboarding.

Want to help them out? Join them on Sept.10^th The New Deal – Bowl contest.

Contest starts at 4:00 pm, free skating and warm-up sessions welcome until then, after 6:00 pm concerts with Hot Gangs And The Asylum Ladies, Pico, Red Room, Elefunky, Mexican Standoff, White Collar, Revofever, The Old News.

PS
Did you know that there are two parrotts living in a tree at Parco Lambro?

A few weeks ago I drove through Potenza to specifically see this bridge. Designed by Sergio Musmeci, it was built in 1969 over the Basento river to link the motorway with the historical town centre. The structure has no pillars, merely supported by a continuous 30cm thick surface, twisted in order to form gigantic arches that make a walkable path, thus becoming an engineering and an art masterpiece at the same time. Although the concrete is not  super smooth, I was wondering if any skater has ever tried these transitions.

Just in case, I took some pictures.

Edo Paris, store manager at the bastard store, got the cover on 6:00 AM 57, August/September issue, with this big frontside heelflip on the infamous Quarto Oggiaro bumps.

Sardinia keeps on producing great skaters so it makes no surprise Luca on the cover of a brief glance issue n.8, online since a few hours, with this nollie heelflip shot by Davide Biondani.

Marco Lambertucci has five pages screens with the Nike SB Texture Tour.

The Green Lantern Power Ring grants unimaginable powers, among which flying at lighting speed. However it requires a recharging time in order to keep working.
Likewise, Edo Paris is capable of flying at incredibile speeds in many Milano spots, like the Bumps of Quarto Oggiaro, then needing a few relaxing days provided with cold beers and mellower sessions along with his long time friends, as in this frontside ollie at the bastard bowl.
